I've just taken the fifth pancake off the pan when someone forcefully barges into my front door. My body goes rigid and its suddenly very silent save for the intruders heavy pants. "Reid!" They yell and I immediately let out a sigh of relief because its Garth. Wait... I rush to my living room to find a very happy and active Garth jogging on the spot. I circle him as I stare at him in disbelief. Well to what do I owe this miracle? His right thigh was busted when Reika called me last night.
In all my days of being a Kylte, never have I ever thought I'd witness this. I stare at his thigh once more, no scar in sight. Completely healed, but within hours? Even the healers in our ranks aren't this quick. "And you said this happened how?"
"Well I'm no expert on how sex works but basically I have reason to believe her...well climax somehow did this." He says his face all serious and examining but I can basically feel the exhilaration oozing off him. A pang of an emotion I'm not used to associating myself with hits my chest and I stand up. So she still has her power? Her rank? But the Sages could possibly not know this yet. Otherwise they would have gotten to her already. "Well, I think Warden would wanna know about this."
"What do you think happens after they get this information?"
"I honestly don't know." I say with a sigh of despair. In as much a I want a normal life for this lady, it just appears that this recent discovery is about to alter her perception of reality. "They might withhold taking action till her memory actually comes back though." But either way we'd have to tell Warden. Just incase we need reinforcements now that a form of her power has been used.

I'm dressed in my full set of what one would call a uniform except they are black leathers with silver embroided runes into them at the shoulders and ankles. It feels oddly comfortable being in this clothes and ironic as well because we only dress like this when we have to meet with the board at Meridian or for war. Garth marches into my room wearing his own leathers and hands me my gloves. Every member in Meridian has customized gloves based on their abilities. These gloves act like some sort of amplifier and would only be worn in important cases. And in this case, portal travel to Meridian to meet Warden.
The house tremors a bit as if experiencing a mini earthquake and we quickly get to the ground. There's a quick flash of light as the tremor dies down and just as I'd suspected, Ameira appears at my bedroom doorframe. Well that was quite an entrance. I think and shoot her a dramatic much look. "Missed you too." She says as she closes the distance between us and gives me a hug. She really hasn't changed much since I last saw her. Auburn hair, green eyes. She hasn't grown all that taller either, about five eight I'd say now. But her wits seem to have grown the size of a whole tower. She releases the hug and turns to Garth dramatically. "You know what I'd give to have that type of sex?" she chuckles. "I knew you'd be trouble but damn."
"It wasn't even actual sex, it was like all still in the foreplay." I say. "Well now imagine if they actually did it." she adds on and suddenly I feel sick to the stomach. The faster all this sex talk could end the better. "How's Warden doing?" I ask to steer the conversation away from my two best friends' sexual adventures.
"He's okay. Worried sick about y'all but okay." she says as she starts performing a circular motion with her hands and pushes a surge of energy forward. We experience a tiny tremor and a black green portal takes form right in front of my door. Well the rest of this day is about to be shitty, or spectacularly so. Garth goes on first, then me, then Ameira since she has to close the portal and keep it untracked. I feel the familiar tag and pull when I step in, then a wave of nausea because it also feels like my body parts are being rearranged.
I manage to land on my feet this time on the grey marble floor. The smell and feel of home engulfs me for a second and I move out of the way quickly as Ameira comes through next landing with a perfect steady stance then quickly raising her hands up and performs a sequence of hand patterns to close it. We're in the Meridian's commons. Everything is still the same. The smell, appearance, down right to the decorations. I honestly cant blame them for the dull environment, it's a protection organization. New weapons is as good as it gets.
We make our way to the hallway, luckily with minimal people in in it who salute us upon recognition. "K. Riveka." a member says as they salute me. "V. Andrei" I say back with a salute. Funny enough here they don't call you by your first name ever. They use the initial for whatever your ability is and then your sir name. Which I've always thought was a stupid rule, as if your power is a better identifier than your name. We make it past the hallway and into a restricted section hall. We take the path to the left and take an elevator down. If it were any other day. Going down this elevator would mean that somebody is getting fired and executed. Yet here I am, possibly because within the next week an impossible amount of events could take place that would lead to the death of either me, Reika, or Garth.
